Guide to some commonly used Django functions

Here is a quick guide to the arguments of some of the most commonly used functions in django-

URL(regex, view, kwargs, name):

  • Argument 1: regex- Mention the syntax for matching URL patterns of your project.
  • Argument 2: view- The view function to call when a URL pattern match is successful. View accepts HttpRequest object as the first argument and any “captured” values from the regular expression as other arguments.
  • Argument 3:kwargs- Keyword arguments to pass in a dictionary to the target view.
  • Argument 4: name- It allows to refer URL unambiguously from anywhere else in Django- major application in Templates.

Render()

  • Argument 1: The request object.
  • Argument 2: Template name.
  • Argument 3: A dictionary(optional).

This function returns an HttpResponse object of the given template rendered with the given context

I will add more soon. :)
